What happens to the sea level of the ocean if all the ice melts?

If all the floating ice (sea ice, icebergs etc) melts it will not change sea levels.
If all the land ice melts (Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, all other glaciers) sea levels will rise about 70 metres (229 feet).

When ice melts what does it leave behind?
When the ice caps melt, it leaves water behind. If all the of the icecaps melt, it will rise the ocean level 20ft.
Why do rivers flood so much?
Rivers flood so much as snow melts on the water, dams burst and heavy rain. All these can cause the water level to rise and causes lots of flooding.
Explain why flowing water in a stream goes in a lake or ocean?
Water always flows in the direction of gravity. After precipitation happens all of the water that has fallen on land collects and flows towards the sea. A lake is just a large storage of fresh water in land that is usually at sea level and therefore flows slowly, if at all.
What happens when minerals in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock melt?
The rocks will melt when they reach the proper temperature, usually thousands of degrees.
What are the 4 steps of seafloor spreading?
I'm not that sure since I am doing a science assignment on seafloor spreading but, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on 5 stepsMagma pushes up through the Earth's mantle and breaks through the crust.Magma flows outward in the ocean in all directions and hardens to form new ocean floor by the ridge.New ocean floor pushes the old floor away from the mid-ocean ridgeThe old floor then pushes the continents away from the ridgeLastly, the old ocean floor is forced under the continental plate, and melts back into magma.I'm not that sure but, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on 5 stepsMagma pushes up through the Earth's mantle and breaks through the crust.Magma flows outward in the ocean in all directions and hardens to form new ocean floor by the ridge.New ocean floor pushes the old floor away from the mid-ocean ridgeThe old floor then pushes the continents away from the ridgeLastly, the old ocean floor is forced under the continental plate, and melts back into magma.
What happens to the sea level if all the sea ice melts?
Since sea ice is already located within the ocean, sea level will not change if it melts.

What happens when rock melts?
it gets all runny
Will the ocean rise to Nevada if all of the ice melts in global warming?
If ALL the ice on earth melted, sea level would rise around 220 feet. Las Vegas is about 2,028 feet elevation. That gives you about 1,828 feet of buffer!
When all ice in a glass of water melts the level of water in the glass?
Stays the same (assuming that all the ice was floating to begin with).
What happens to a glass jar lid if you run it under hot water?
It melts and brakes all over the place.
What happens if you burn a plastic army soldier?
It melts and releases toxins into the air, as all plastics do when they melt and burn.
What is the origin of rivers?
Mountain ranges - which collect snow - and snow melts all year long at lower altitudes, and snow falls from mountains to lower ranges creating streams which meet at bottoms of ranges and forms rivers (water seeks its own level - mainly ocean level - at 0 feet)
What happens when the tundra gets warm?
The Ice and the permafrost melts and all the summer birds come to feed and nest and all the mosquitoes hatch.
If antarctica melts how does that effect England?
If Antarctica melts, it will effect us because the worlds sea level will rise, can cause floods in London from the river Thames.
The level of the ocean which is the same all over the world?
stratified layer
What happens when a great white dies?
people spill kemicles into the ocean and then it pilutes the shars and the water and all the animals in the ocean
